The second-gen model features new styling cues – carried over from the company’s kinetic design language – to create a vehicle that embodies the "strength and power of a traditional SUV, while having the prestige, agility and nimbleness of a sporting saloon", the company claims.

Most noticeable changes to the Territory include its new trapezoid-shaped main grille and revised front and rear headlamps. Top-end Titanium variants get LED lights as standard.

The interior remains largely unchanged, but does feature a new eight-inch touch screen for its audio system, telephone and climate control. The overall seating layout remains the same as a five or seven seater.

The Territory will be available to buy in Australia from April, although Ford hasn’t revealed any details of pricing or powertrains yet.
